I have lived and relived in my mind things like this myself, and I know it's crazy...so I can speak from experience. <br />In all my born days, I would never make phone calls to interrogate parents about why "your kid doesn't like my kid". For Pete's sake, why can't they hash that out themselves? That mom needs a big spoonful of "back off helicopter mom" juice. And you know, maybe Ann likes to have a little life of her own at school. <br />Just love her. Let her know she's the best girl in the world. She certainly sounds like a smart cookie to me, she'll handle the rest. <br />I prescribe wine and chocolate and a family movie. Probably not on the same night.<br />Hugs to you,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815543766860542070.post-91460680498966236252015-01-25T13:13:56.537-05:002015-01-25T13:13:56.537-05:00Moms who devote their lives to their children do n...Moms who devote their lives to their children do not "fail!" They have good days, difficult days, outstanding days, and days with imperfections, just like the rest of humanity. Deliberate mistakes are a rarity with devoted parents. Well developed, happy, successful children - like yours - are the result of hard work and loving care, which always includes days that might not be perfect! Even the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph lost Jesus at the Temple during Passover, and they only had one to care for! xoMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815543766860542070.post-89773221836962751322015-01-24T00:39:53.433-05:002015-01-24T00:39:53.433-05:00This made me laugh...

I always take the other kids' side first...or realize I have no idea how a certain kid's day has gone, or counting the minutes until bedtime (that's normal, right?).

LOL <br /><br />Just remember to think of all the positives you do as the wonderful mom you are!! We always tend to beat ourselves up. I think if we continue to learn from our mistakes (there are no perfect parents), we will never fail. Right? <br /><br />It's Friday! You enjoy your weekend (with a glass of that wine) and family time with your kiddos.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651016998027244516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815543766860542070.post-70139670446757129152015-01-23T07:32:15.952-05:002015-01-23T07:32:15.952-05:00I agree with Billie Jo...you are an amazing Mom. ...I agree with Billie Jo...you are an amazing Mom. But I assure you, you are not the only one that has experienced things like this. I was sure I did things that would permanently scar my son.

Yikes.<br />Anyway...hugs from up north. : )Billie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515311983458309772noreply@blogger.com
